To. all w'h'om' i'tjvitaj concern Be it knowntli'at'l, Nona titan. a citizen .of-"t he United States,' residing at Bridgeport, in; the county. of F airfield and ,State of Connecticut, haveflinvented new and useful Improvements infKi tchen ljten sils. of which the following '15 -.a specification. i

and more specificallyto that class of kitchenuteiisils' which combines SBV0l'fll.(lV-1CCS into a-- compact art cle at a -very-small costv 'The' utensi herewith d sclosed,

Fig.3'isa perspective 'view' of the sieve; lfig. 4 is-a side elevation of the In the-accompanying drawings wherein' is illustrated the preferredform of my invention,,the numeral 1 designates the body portion of the colande" which is formed from a continuous pi ece of material, said piece of'material being providechwith a plu-' rali-tvof perforations 2 and having its upper edge rolled as shown at 3: -,Se'ctio ns of the 7 rolled portionsware cut away as shown-for the'purpose hereinafter set forth. A strand of. wire bent in {i substantially circular torin is provided, outwardly as shown at 4 so that when the in the, positioirsh'own be which has portions thereof bent same is disposed neath the rolled portions. the sa d bent ma; portions will project through the cut away sectionsthereby forming supporting arms The sieve comprisesa body portion 3- conwhich can be easily han lled,-whi cli is durable and etlicient in operation and pn'e. which. can be manufactured combines anordinary colander fill-(l'SlOVG HMO- 3170!-.

handle portion strueted of wire which liasconnectio-ii with semicircular sleeves 6, through which sleeves extend a wire strand 7. A portion of .the wire strand is ent outwardly as at 8' 'while another portion is twisted as shown at 9 toform a handle.

It is readily obvious hen't portions 4 of the first strand of wire will c'ngagethe upper edges-of the same and support the colander. "The twisted portion 9 o'fthe wirestrand which is carried hy the, sieve, serves as a handle as. has above been pointed out and in this provision it. is

that when the col- "anderis disposed within the sieve that the readily ol vious that the operation of the utensil is greatly facilitated. It is-also oh-.

vious that tliehentout port-ion Scanbe used a handle when occasion requires.

]nFig. 4 I have illustrated 'a peculiar .form. of masher which comprises a substan-' tially'convex head portion 10 which has connectedih'ereto a twisted strand of wire ll'w-hich strand of wire forms ahead por- 1 tion by which the same may be operated. I- desire it to he understoodthat I. may make slight changes in the construction and in the arrangement andcombination of'thcv several parts, .providcd such changes fall within the scope of the sulr-joinedclaims.

Having thus fully described my'invem ;tion what I claim as new and desire to se- 1 cure Letters Patent is 1. Ina device of the character.described,

a colander having. supporting "arms pro- -1ecting therefrom, a sieve having a handle attached thereto, said sieve 'adapted to. re-

ceive said colander and said supporting arms adapted to engage the upper edges ofsaid sieve for the purpose dGSQI'lbGCl.

2. In a device of the character described, a colander having its upper edges rolled to receive a. circular s trand of wire, portions of said wire forming supporting arms, a

sieve having aiha'ndle' portion formed'thereon, said sieveadapted to receive said colander, saidsupporting arms enga ging the upper edge of .said sieve for. the purpose described. p v

' In a device (it the character dcsr ihed.

. r -4 i a colander having its upper edges rolled.

sections of said rolled edges cut awa-l a strand of wire bent in a circular fo m. portions of said strand bent outwardlyand extending through said cutaway sections to ,torm supporting arms, a sieve having a formed thereon, said f 'sieve adapted to receive said colander, said sup through said sleeves, a' portion of sa-id last said sieve for the purpose deseribed.

4. In a device of thecharacterdescribed,' a colander having its upper edges rolled, sections of said rolled portions cut away,

portingv ar nsenga'ging the upper edge of a strand of wire in engagement withsaid rolled portions, sections of said wirebentoutwardly through said cutaway sections to .form supporting arms, ajsieve having connection at its upper end with semicircular sleeves, a strand of wire extending mentioned strand twisted to 'for'rn said handle, a section thereof bent to form a sup-' porting arm, said sieve adapted to r'eiceiv-e said colander, said first mentioned.
